I'll be doing a full 5 lug, 4 wheel disc brake setup here over the next couple months. While I'm in there, I figure shocks, struts, springs, LCAs, and some C/C plates might as well go in also.

I already have 95 spindles, a 93 cobra brake booster, 10th anniversary Cobra wheels, and the complete rear brakes off a 97 Cobra.

First item needed is a 13 inch rotor and duel piston caliper set. Who's got the best price? I'm seeing prices all over the range.

MM CC plates are looking $199 here: Mustang Caster Camber Plates, 1979-89 [MMCC7989] : Maximum Motorsports, the Latemodel Mustang Performance Suspension Leader! Anyone got them cheaper?

For MM LCAs, is it worth the extra $130 to have an adjustable ride height? Extreme Duty Control Arms : Maximum Motorsports, the Latemodel Mustang Performance Suspension Leader! Who has the best prices on their LCAs?

I've yet to decide on shocks/struts/springs, so you're welcome to toss in your advice. Its a 90% street car with 475ish to the tires once tuned(did 442 to the wheels and was ungodly rich and off the chart by 3K)

Haven't gone as far as that thought yet. I probably shouldn't as I can only assume they have 108K miles on them.

i only ask because they are sopposed to be "lifetime" but if you were going to keep them like myself, you might want to pick up mustang5L5's last set of balljoint spacers...just got some myself, and they are great quality! just wanted to put that out there for ya.
